New Lutheran Quote of the Day
As the Word recounts the great events of Christ's life, so the liturgy re-enacts these redemptive acts. In all of these God's love is actually extended to sinful man and bestowed upon him. Thus one must say that the church proclaims the Gospel also in its liturgy. -- Ernest Koenker, *Worship in Word and Sacrament* p. 28

I really wish I hadn't lent out my copy of this one...
I will not loan mine out. I have a handful of books that I refuse to let go of. This is one; The Pilgrim (Kretzmann) is another; The Gospel of Baptism (Jungkuntz) is a third.
Have you read his book The Liturgical Renaissance in the Roman Catholic Church? After reading all his quotations here, I'm thinking of bumping it to the top of my reading list.
No, I've not read it.
